50 Book Challenge #4: Raw Recruits by various writers. I'd been feeling a need for a little titillation. But this anthology of military themed erotica just proved monotonous and lame. Is there no good erotica? Book #5 is done as well, but I won't review it here yet--I have to review it for class on Wednesday and I'll post that review here then.
Now I don't normally watch the Academy Awards (not gay enough), but I DVR'd last night's event because some morbid thing in me had to know if that awful Little Miss Sunshine would walk away with a bunch of awards (it only got Best Supporting Actor for Alan Arkin, deservedly, and Best Original Screenplay, which given its competition seemed a bit much). Aside from Arkin's performance, the only bit of this movie worth watching is the talent show sequence in the last few minutes of the film.
On the home front, I seem unable to completely shake this cold I've had the past few weeks. Sigh. Aeia got sick Friday night, but she's fine now (I think it was just the food). Rael is becoming more and more of a boy and less and less of a baby each day. His comprehension of language seems further advanced than it was with Lash and Aeia, which is a trip, but he's still proving more stubborn than Aeia ever was, which is a lot of` stubbornness.
While we were HeroClixing at the comic shop on Saturday, a homeless man, using the store's awning for shelter from the rain, possibly overdosed and definitely died in front of the store. Thankfully the kids didn't see it happen and I've kept them from finding out about it. I'm so much keener on sheltering them now.
